Why the model tagged it this way: The bill repeals multiple Tiahrt Amendment provisions and related riders that restricted ATF's ability to retain background check records beyond 24 hours, centralize dealer acquisition/disposition records, require annual inventories, and respond to FOIA requests on traces. These changes expand data collection, retention, and use for enforcement, research, and tracing of crime guns, thereby imposing more restrictions on illegal firearms access and trafficking.
